For Colleges
Leading the effort to bring early price revelation to the college application process
Our goal is to help students factor net cost into their college search
Potential students enter six data points and immediately see their estimated net cost of attendance and preadmission status. Students then connect with colleges of their choice to begin the application process.
Stop losing prospects
Many students aren't aware that colleges discount published prices. Inform your prospective students.

Frequenty Asked Questions
Higher Admission is a platform that helps students factor net cost into their college search and helps colleges
make their true net cost visible to potential students. Optionally, Higher Admission allows colleges to "preadmit" students.
Students complete our short 6-question form to provide us with basic information
in order to best estimate their financial aid package.
Any accredited college is eligible to join our platform.
For now, only U.S. citizens or residents are eligible to use Higher Admission. In the future, we plan to add international students.
If your college offers aid based on student characteristics that we don't collect,
for example: valedictorian or salutatorian, first generation college,
matching Raise Me award levels from other colleges, minority status, etcetera,
you'll be able to add notes regarding such awards that students will easily see.
Our students have the option of connecting with each college. Colleges selected by students automatically
receive all of the student's data and contact information.
